A model copper oil tanker floats within a water-filled box. Approximately every 4 minutes, the tanker slowly sinks, up-ending and completely disappearing through a floating slick of black oil on the water's surface. After a brief time the tanker re-emerges, the sinking playing in reverse, repositioning itself.
